2022 Map of Union Mills

About this map

Union Mills serves as a central landmark in this agricultural landscape of Mahaska County, Iowa. The winding course of the North Skunk River carves through the terrain, joined by tributaries such as Buck Cr and Moon Cr. This 2022 survey documents a rural environment where land use is dictated by the river valleys and an extensive grid of local roads, including Merino Ave and Snyder Ave. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds throughout the area, such as the Union Mills Cem, the remote Mormon Point Cem, and the Tilford Cem located in the northern reaches. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Middle Cr flows past Woods Cem, reflecting the persistent placement of historical community sites along these essential watercourses.
